Â«If youâ€™re convinced youâ€™ll never be able to learn bird calls,
start with the Gray Catbird. Once youâ€™ve heard its catty mew
you wonâ€™t forget it. Follow the sound into thickets and vine
tangles and youâ€™ll be rewarded by a somber gray bird with
a black cap and bright rusty feathers under the tail.

Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers,
and they share that groupâ€™s vocal abilities, copying the sounds
of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.Â»

Hi Asbed,a new satisfaction,a first time is always a great thing,especially after years and years in the forest. A great timing to take it with the open beak when it lauch its cry,very good sharpness despite the distance . Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Great view of this bird. We have them all around in maryland, and in fact their call is very much like a cat. You image does seem a little overexposed or perhaps exposure ratcheted up in post-processing.
